Default A4 Vs. M6?

i was looking at a 2000Z28 M6 but it got sold, there is a 98 A4 Z28 with 95kmiles for 6500 is the A4 a good trany? i read the thing saying that they were weaker then the M6 but how much? and how much more power? i dont have forever to wait around for a M6 to apear beacuse i need to drive to school and work and no one can take me. so should i jump on the A4? or is it really that important for a M6.

95,000 miles is not too much as long as it was taken care of (regular oil changes, tune-up, ect). If you want to get into drag racing then autos with 3000+ stall torque converters is the way to go. But if you just want to have some fun on the street then definately get a manual.

Good luck and I hope to see a nice F-body in your sig soon!

Get a manual. Not b/c its better, but b/c it's what you want. Don't settle or you will never be happy.

Get what you want.. But here are my thoughts based on my experiance.

I used to be a M6 guy until I drove a A4 with stall. IMHO a stalled A4 is just as much fun on the steet and will tear it up at the drag strip. the 30-punch in an A4 with a stall is awesome!

as far as mileage just make sure it is in good shape, maybe have someone who knows about these cars check it out. Make sure you do not see blue smoke coming outta the tailpipes when driving or even idleing.

If you get a chance to drive one of each Im pretty sure you'll wait for a m6

I've got an M6, and love it. But I would also like the A4 b/c of the convertor option. I think you will be very happy with both cars. But if you are leaning a lot more toward the M6, I would wait for one.
